They were so well written and interesting, especially once I realized how they were probably going to tie into what was happening years later in the main character’s life.

Cryptography is a topic that’s recently begun to interest me. While I don’t yet know a lot about it, I was pleased with how the characters in this book handled the idea of a code so complex that even the most powerful cryptographers and ciphers had yet to be able to break it. The more I read about how this all worked in this tale, the more I wanted to know.

The world building was excellent. There was exactly enough time split between giving the audience the details we needed in order to understand what life was like onboard space ships in the distant future and expecting us to put certain clues together ourselves.

Hexagrammaton is a must-read for anyone who loves aliens, space ships, or characters who might not be everything they seem at first glance.
